What this paper is
This is a study protocol for a planned scoping review and thematic analysis. It describes how the authors will search, screen, extract, and analyse literature about people with disabilities and other forms of vulnerability during the COVID-19 pandemic. It reports no completed search results, no included studies, and no findings, so there is nothing here to change clinical practice on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read this protocol or its example list of vulnerable groups as evidence of pandemic effects. It reports no completed search results, no included studies, and no findings.
